Francesco's

Unfortunately I had a dreadful experience this evening. I ordered online, and asked for their fried calamari, and their veal parmesan. Their calamari was inedible. They had a thick smell, like bad fish, which immediately made me worried. The calamari were thin, discolored, and absolutely rock hard. I still attempted to try one, but couldn't even chew through it. The bit I managed to taste was absolutely horrendous. I posted a picture to show you how unappetizing they were. It did not come with lemon like it stated online (perhaps it was just forgotten?). As for the veal, I ordered online and it gave me the option of selecting which pasta I wanted on the side. I selected penne, yet the order I received came with spaghetti. Not usually a huge deal, just another annoyance after the bad calamari without lemon. The pasta sauce was fine, and the pasta itself was ok. The veal was a veal steak, not ground like some places use, which I like. However, after I got about halfway through I started noticing a strange after-taste. It was like the veal was good, but may have sat out all day and was on the verge of turning bad. I only made it halfway through and I put it in the garbage. The best thing about the dinner was the salad, with fresh lettuce and veggies... my only complaint about that was it was really tiny, and I was hungry after not being able to finish my meal. It's too bad. Years ago I worked nearby and would order from here quite often, sometimes weekly. Their veal and calamari were probably the best I could find in town. I then happened to move a bit further away and didn't eat there for nearly 3 years.... until tonight. I don't know what happened in the last few years, but it is not the Francesco's that I remember. It's some of the worst Italian food I've ever had, and honestly I am worried that the calamari and/or veal might make me ill. I left it at 2 stars instead of 1 for the salad, the pasta, and the prices... but it was close.

A nice little Italian-style restaurant with carryout pizza. There is a TV on the wall, but the atmosphere is quiet and a bit on the dark side. It can be bit hard to locate in the corner of a small mall but it is one of a half dozen food locations there and ample parking even for the lunchtime rush.

Placed take out order, showed up to restaurant after 30 minutes, and it still wasn’t ready and had to wait for 20 more minutes in their sweltering hot dining room. They weren’t even busy, there was no one in the dining room. Would give the pizza a 5/10 in quality. It was over cooked Definitely wont be back

This was THE WORST FOOD. We ordered Chicken Alfredo and it was disgusting. 'Could not even taste the parmesan cheese...only a bland cream sauce "wannabe". Giving it a single star only because the salad was fresh at least. But they could not even give us the right salad dressing we ordered. No exuse. NEVER AGAIN. WHAT A RIP-OFF!
